C7 So That's How It Is
When Lu Shan heard this notification, he was shocked. Previously, he had used all of the over a hundred medicinal herbs in this Upgrade Box, but he had never heard such a prompt before! But this time, it was clearly orange juice, and there was actually a notification … This, this was simply a ghost!
Could it be … Those over a hundred medicinal herbs could not be used to concoct the medicine, but this orange juice was actually quite good?
At this moment, the siren had already reached the entrance of the night market. Lu Shan didn't have any time to think as he quickly headed to an intersection and left the place.
After crossing two streets in a row, Lu Shan finally got a taxi. On the way back to the hotel, Lu Shan suddenly had an idea.
It seemed that his previous thoughts had gone a little wrong!
After receiving this task, he had always thought that since he was going to concoct the medicine, he would have to use the herbs to concoct it! However, he had forgotten … This Upgrade Box came from the world of games.
However, in the game world, there weren't that many messy herbs. There were only two basic medicines, red and blue, in general.
Red Potions were also known as Life Potions, and could increase a player's HP. In any case, it didn't matter if you were bitten by a monster or killed by a player. Once you took a sip of the Health Potion, you would be able to recover from all your injuries.
As for the blue potion, it was also known as the Spirit Potion, which could increase the player's spiritual energy. Many of the big moves in the game consumed the player's mental energy. Without the mental energy, it was equivalent to losing the ability to fight back.
In addition, Lu Shan still remembered that in the game, there were many places in the wild where he could pick some wild fruits. These fruits could be placed in a player's bag and taken directly after being injured, allowing them to recover a small amount of HP.
If he could amass a large amount of wild fruits, he would be able to get them from an NPC called "Alchemist He". He could get some life potions for a small amount of money.
But... Although there was such a setting in the game, it was too troublesome to pluck the wild fruits. Furthermore, these wild fruits could only be exchanged for the lowest grade of life potions, so no one would waste any time.
From the looks of it … Actually, the life potions in the game were basically made from wild fruits! As for which type of wild fruit they were, there was no clear explanation in the game. However, from the looks of it … Lu Shan only needed to keep experimenting from the fruit side to be sure that he could find the correct formula!
Having thought this through, Lu Shan couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement. He quickly told the driver to turn around and look around to see if there was any sign of a supermarket that hadn't closed down yet.
But unfortunately … It was almost midnight. Small supermarkets that sold tobacco, alcohol, and other miscellaneous items would open up, but those that sold fruits and vegetables were closed. After all, they were mainly open for business during the day. Who would come to buy groceries?
Lu Shan had no choice but to return to the inn and plan to talk about it tomorrow. In any case, the time limit of this mission was twenty-four hours. As long as he could find the right direction, it would be possible to study it tomorrow.
One night passed, Lu Shan immediately checked out after daybreak and carried his travel bag to a nearby morning market.
There were all kinds of vegetables, fruits and snacks in the morning market. After Lu Shan randomly ate something, he started to sweep through the fruit stalls beside them.
Because there were too many people in the morning market, Lu Shan naturally could not brazenly put the fruits he bought into the Upgrade Box for testing. He could only buy some and then find a place with no people to slowly search.
At this moment, it was the next hot season. It was the time for tropical fruits to harvest, so … There were quite a lot of fruits sold in the market. Even though Lu Shan only bought one or two of each kind, they were still filled to the brim with two large bags, each weighing more than 30 catties. But even so, there were still many fruits that he hadn't bought yet!
Lu Shan reckoned that if he bought all kinds of fruits, he would have to hire a car, so … He could only do this for now. The fruits in his hands might even be enough to make up the recipe for the low grade Life Potion!
It was early in the morning, and other than the bustling morning market, the streets were deserted. Lu Shan walked for a while with two bags of fruits before stopping in a quiet corner.
After looking left and right to see that there was no one around, he took out the fruits from his bag one by one and placed them into the Upgrade Box.
No response! Change another... Still no reaction! Reschedule...
Lu Shan tried placing the two big baskets of fruits in the Upgrade Box one by one, but he still couldn't make any sound. Now, he was completely dumbfounded!
Could his luck be that bad? This... There was not even a single suitable fruit!
Lu Shan estimated that in order to concoct the Life Potion, he would need to use at least four to five fruits. Even if he was unlucky, he shouldn't have been unable to find even one fruit after trying more than ten kinds!
Once again, he looked at the glass of orange juice that was still placed in the center of the Upgrade Box.
Could it be … Was it because these fruits had not been squeezed into juice that the system did not notify him?
Thinking about this, Lu Shan took out the glass of orange juice and put an entire orange into it.
As expected … This time, the system's notification similarly did not ring. And when he put the cup of orange juice back in, the same prompt rang out just like before.
Me?" Day... So it was like this!
